WARMING UP

It is important to warm up before exercising to prepare your body for the workout it is about to do. The first phase of

a warm up is to increase your heart rate and get blood pumping around your body faster. Choose an activity which

will warm up the same muscles you are going to use during your workout.

• PHASE 1: 5-10 minutes heart raising activity

• PHASE 2: Static stretching

• PHASE 3: Workout

COOL DOWN

Following your workout you should carry out a cool down.

This should gradually bring your heart rate back to a resting level. To do a cool down perform an activity of your

choice at a low intensity e.g. a steady 5 minute cycle. This should be followed by static stretches, similar to those

in the warm up. Again, hold each stretch for 30 seconds

STRETCHES

Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds.

Stretching should not hurt; only stretch your muscles to as far as is comfortable. If you have a tight or previously

injured muscle stretch the affected muscle group within the warm up. Do not perform any sudden movements

while warming up.

Stretches should include:

Side Stretch

Arm Stretch

Groin Stretch

Hamstring Stretch

Calf Stretch

Quad Stretch
